Your guide to makeup that lasts all day and night
How do you achieve that fresh, just-applied look that stays put? The secret lies in the right prep, products, and techniques. Here’s your step-by-step guide to easy, long lasting results, to make your festive season even more enjoyable.
1. Prep like a pro
The foundation of long-lasting makeup is all in the preparation. Start by cleansing your face to remove any dirt, oil, or leftover makeup. Let your favorite moisturizer follow, to keep your skin hydrated - thirsty skin loves to soak up your makeup.
Once hydrated, it’s time to choose a primer, depending on your skin. Want to control shine and keep oil at bay? Matte attack is your bestie. Craving a radiant, lit-from-within glow? Glowerizer has got you covered. Apply a thin layer evenly over your face and let it set for a minute.
2. Brush up on tools
Our products are not the only secret to flawless makeup - it’s also the tools. LH cosmetics tools are designed to help you achieve a perfectly blended, professional finish. From our precise eyeliner brushes to our iconic Powder puff, we’ve got everything you need to level up your makeup game.
3. Prime your eyes
Before you dive into those bold eye looks, grab 'Til the end eyeshadow primer. This game-changing primer ensures your eyeshadow stays vibrant, crease-free, and in place all day. Smooth a tiny amount over your lids.
4. Build your base
When it comes to foundation and concealer, less is more. Use a damp sponge to apply thin layers, building coverage only where needed. This technique keeps your makeup lightweight and prevents cakiness.
To lock it all in, reach for Infinity filter. Lightly dust it over your T-zone to set your makeup and reduce shine.
5. Eye-catching longevity
For eyes that mesmerize, Crayons - our versatile, long-lasting eye pencils are perfect, as a liner or even as a base for smoky looks. If you put liner in your waterline, put a matching powder shadow on top to make it last extra long.
Or create the look with Sparkl, a liquid glitter eyeshadow that stays in place without fallout. Apply onto your lids for an instant pop of sparkle that won’t budge, no matter how much you dance the night away. Add Infinity ink for an ultra-black, smudge-proof eyeliner
6. Lips that stay put
Keep your lip game strong with the Crayon lipliners. Outline and fill in your lips to create a long-lasting base for any lipstick. This trick not only boosts the longevity of your lip color but also prevents bleeding or feathering. Another trick is layering your lip products: start with powder, then add lipliner and/or liquid lipstick, powder again, then add cream lipstick or lip gloss.
7. Lock it all in
Once your masterpiece is complete, seal the deal with On set - long-lasting setting spray. A few spritzes create a weightless barrier that holds your makeup in place while giving it a seamless, natural finish. Pro tip: stash the mini in your bag for midday refreshes.
8. Touch-up without overdoing it
Instead of layering on more product, use a light dusting of Blotting powder to absorb excess oil without adding heaviness. Avoid touching your face throughout the day to keep everything intact.
